Chinese is one of my top subjects!

I place an emphasis on active learning -- learning is about building confidence and having fun! (Check out my website: Red Elephant Tutoring.com)
I have accumulated several years of experience teaching English as a Second Language both in the US and abroad. I also have over a year of experience teaching elementary Chinese. I especially interested in English composition and writing, which is a crucial skill no matter what field you're interested in.

More About This Tutor...

I received my Bachelors of Arts degree from Willamette University, where I majored in politics and minored in economics. I chose to work for a Bachelor's of Arts degree because it stresses a strong understanding of all subjects - this is the core of my approach to learning and education. During my senior year of high school I tutored math and science at a middle school for one year, and prior to this spent several years babysitting and assisting elementary school-aged children with their studies.

As a student that has earned consistently high marks and test scores, I am in a great position to do this.
In my own experience, the key to learning has been to find a "critical link:" that is, to figure out an angle that makes sense to ... read more
